Starting from the fifth grade, KIPP has helped to shape me into the young man I've become. Passionate about social change and equality the traits and skills KIPP has instilled in me from a young age are the ones I will take on with me to college in the coming months. Now speaking about the high school, I can speak confidently when I say I don't believe I'd be where I am or going to the college I intend on attending (Howard University) without the constant support and encouragement from the KIPP staff.
